The Annoying Alarm Clock is a simple, nonuserfriendly and nonrobust application that simulates an alarm clock. The Annoying Alarm Clock cannot be deactivated while subconscious.
Here's how it works:
1. Start program. Background is black.
2. Input wake time and hit TAB.
3. Type a question that you cannot answer while subconscious.
4. Type the answer to the question and hit 'Enter' to activate alarm clock.
5. Background turns green. The time you have to sleep is shown on the
first line. This time is refreshed every 5 seconds and is superciliously accurate.
6.
Your computer's INTERNAL speakers will be used. Not all computers have an
internal speaker. When you hear a series of beeps that sounds like
"beep bEEp beep BEEp beep BEEp beep BEEp beep bEEp .... beep BEEEEp beep bEEEEEp
beep BEEEp beep bEEEEp beep BEEp" then you know it's time to wake up. The
code for what it actually sounds like is
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
System.Console.Beep(500, 100);
System.Console.Beep(800, 100);
}
Thread.Sleep(3000);
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++)
{
System.Console.Beep(800, 100);
System.Console.Beep(1000, 200);
}
7. You have THREE MINUTES to
get to your computer, answer the question and hit Enter. (So don't panick
when you hear the alarm - it will stop beeping automatically for 3 minutes!)
The Annoying Alarm Clock will close at this time if you answer your question as
you did before you went to bed. If the beeps fail to wake you up, you will
hear more annoying beeps.
Notes:
-If your computer goes into standby, the alarm will not work.
-If your computer is locked, the alarm will still work.
-If you are disconnected from your terminal services session, the alarm will not
work.
-Be sure to test the alarm to make sure your computer's internal speakers work.
-After entering the question and answer, always make sure the calculated time
you have to sleep is reasonable. If it says you have negative 7 or
positive 237 hours to sleep, you probably entered the date wrong.
-This application is useful if you have the following problems
-If you are in IB or otherwise massively sleep deprived
-Alarm clocks never wake you up because you turn them off without waking up.
-If you put your alarm clock on the other side of the room then you do wake up,
but then your heart is pounding after the sprint across your room, and you trip
over your dog because it is dark when you wake up.
-If "Heart rate test" is checked, after you hear the regular beeps, you will
hear a 3 second pause, a 2 beeps that indicate that a heart rate test will be
performed - a reminder for you to find your pulse, a 10 second pause during
which you are to find your pulse, 2 more beeps indicating that the heart rate
test begun, a 30 sec pause during which you count the heart beats, and 2 more
beeps indicating the end of the heart rate test. Double the beats you
counted to get your heart rate. After the last 2 beeps, you then have 3
minutes to deactivate the alarm before you hear more annoying beeps.
